The Sadler Family: December 2014

Thursday, December 18, 2014

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Tomorrow is the LAST DAY OF SCHOOL before Winter Break! Can't. Wait.

I've been fighting the flu, a cold, and two UTIs! I really need some time to rest! However, resting while trying to get ready for the holidays is nearly impossible.

Since I never got around to posting our Thanksgiving pictures.....I thought I'd sneak these in quickly!

Our little family

My Veggie Tray - Look closely - it's a turkey!

I love my paper score board - I created this rosette turkey for a centerpiece decoration.

I was able to persuade everyone into taking a family picture!

It turned out most of us were wearing matching colors!

I purchased a new tree after Christmas last year at Michael's - there was no display, so I was eager to see how it would look all set up this year.

Keeping with tradition, Ryan received his ornament. This year it was a drum set, commemorating his very first "band gig"!

I've been busy wrapping. All 145 Christmas gifts that I've purchased are currently wrapped and waiting to be transported to their destination! It took several weeks and many hours - but I'm READY!

As in the past, I designed several different Christmas cards. There are four different designs this year.

These adorable snowman were created with my score board. I've made about ten of them to give as gifts. They've been a big hit -Notice how the easel they sit upon looks like the snowman's boots!

Each of the third graders in 3M (and a couple "special" friends) will get one of these adorable Santa bags with a scented marker and bookmark. The marker has a note attached that says - HAVE A 'SCENT'SATION WINTER BREAK!

I decided to take the family photo from Thanksgiving and make Christmas Cards for my parents to send out - I love how they turned out. The colors really look great with the clothing.
